My dear sister,

I take your concern as, I am sure, it was intended: out of love for me an interest in my future happiness. A swift engagement it may be, but I assure you the nuptials themselves will not be hasty, for we intend to wait into the new year. Miss Scamander is a very prudent choice, and one that, over time, I can envision myself bearing a deal of affection. I hope that once you have met her in this new capacity and spent some time with one another, you will bear her affection as well.
